MEAF is very grateful to Ms Lorely Burt – Solihull MP and Prime Sponsor as well as Sponsors: Mr. Peter Bottomley, Mr. Jeremy Corbyn, Mr. John Leech, Mr. Alan Meale and Mr. Jim Shannon and all other MP's who have so far signed the following Early Day Motion:

That this House notes that it is 100 years since Albania declared independence from the Ottomann Empire; recognises the desires of Albanians resident in Britain to help build a more democratic Albanian state; acknowledges that the ability to vote plays a vital role in assisting with this; regrets that British-based Albanians are currently unable to vote in Albanian elections, unlike Albanians in countries such as Kosovo and Macedonia; and calls on the Government to support the cause of British-Albanians in securing the right to vote in Albanian elections in order to ensure the democratic equality of all Albanians regardless of geographical location.
